Antenna-sector time-division multiple access for broadband indoor wireless systems.

This paper investigates a hybrid space-time-division multiple access (S-TDMA) for broadband indoor wireless systems using sectored antennas. It is shown that portables which are located in different sectors of an indoor microcell may be able to reuse the same frequency and the same time slot. Howeve...
